the semi annual merry xmas/holiday thread.

I just wanted to wish everyone here the very best of holiday seasons to you and yours. This serves a double purpose as i like to do this thread and this way i can avoid multiple PM's My good friends all know i wish them well...............and that's quite a few...............which makes me lucky.

I always get a bit preachy and/or sentimental. No matter your personal take on Jesus (a lot of my friends are jewish for example), his life is the ultimate example of many things including the impact or importance our fleeting time here can have. The best teacher and example of all to follow.

That said, one of the nice things about the holiday season is how people try harder to be a little nicer to one another. I hope you all try to follow suit as i will myself. I wonder how much we could change the world with little things.

To lighten up, wasn't it "platoon" where this great observation takes place? "Hey O'neill, you got your whole life to be an asshole, why don't you take today off"

Anyway, i just wanted to wish everyone and their loved ones only the very best for the holidays and the coming year.

P.S. See, this got me out of a few PM's

Stay safe everyone. Happy Holidays since it's probably politically incorrect to say Merry Christmas these days. Anyways enjoy the company of family and friends. Also wishing a special Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all the men and women who are deployed overseas serving there countries.

Merry Xmas to the best group of posters that we have on the site. I'm biased, but I think there is a ton of knowledge here and I enjoy spending time reading the various opinions on here. Hope you all spend the holidays with the people that you love the most, all the best and let's have another productive 2013.

Merry Christmas everyone. Hoping you all enjoy a safe holiday season. If you love someone make sure you tell/show em. Thanks for the great (under appreciated) posts. Keep up the good work. Check out the christmas tunes in the What Are You Listening To? thread if you get a chance. Hell(oops), post some good ones while you're at it.

I always enjoy reading your posts and you are a big part of why this section is the best as ILB stated so correctly.

I always learn something new coming on here. I know many of our posters have differing viewpoints on many of the fighters and events from the past but that is what makes things GREAT! It would be a very dull world if everyone liked vanilla!

I wish for everyone to have a GREAT holiday but be prepared to be back next year with YOUR INSIGHT on hockey from the past, the best of times for us all!!!

Merry Christmas to you all.

What a gift it is to have this site year round, hockey or no hockey. The things that are mentioned and discussed here are by the most knowledgeable posters you will find on any hockey site.

Thanks to all of you for my year round gift.
